Connect to LL-Webservice via PHP/SOAP

Hi there,

I'm currently try a connect to the LL-Webservices (LL-version 9.7.1) via PHP using the SOAP-Module.

Creating the SoapClient seems to be successfully because I get no error :-) But if try to authenticate me i run into an error.

<?php

$client = new SoapClient("http://[DOMAIN]/webservice/Authentication.svc?wsdl");
$result = $client->AuthenticateUser( "username", "password" );

var_dump($result);

This error returns:

Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [a:InternalServiceFault] Could not load file or assembly 'vjslib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. in \Inetpub....

Has anyone tried successfully to connect via PHP/SOAP or had this error and fixed it?

Thanks for answers.

Regards

I have successfully utilised web service calls to the authentication and documentmanagement services. I have not encountered the errors you describe. They do look more environment orientated than php.

The strategy I adopt for all work with web services

1. utilise the soap-ui utility to prove/generate the raw xml required to call the service

2. use a wsdltophp utility to convert the wsdl to a php class

3. we also purchased the charles proxy utility to enable us to monitor the xml being produced from php.

Problem is solved!

After installing the Visual J# Redist. Package on the ContentServer it works.

Now I actually get the error that username and password must be defined. But these values are given

$client->AuthenticateUser('username','password')

???

Can anybody help me? I always get the error that the username or password is not given. But it still exists and will be send with the function.

I also get no helpfull error at the Webservice-Log. There is the same entry as I get on the screen.

Thank for help.

Best regards

When calling authenticateuser my successfull calls pass username and password as an array

username=>'username',

password=>'password'

Hi, Markus.

What does the request itself look like? Is there anything informative in the Content Server thread logs? Be sure to set the following in opentext.ini:

[general]
Debug=2

[options]
wantLAPILogs=TRUE

Thanks,

Scott

Hi,

the Request looks like:

$client = new SoapClient("http://[DOMAIN]/webservice/Authentication.svc?wsdl");

try {

$aLogindata = array('username'=>'myuser','password'=>'mypass');

$result = $client->AuthenticateUser($aLogindata);
echo $result;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo 'Exception: ', $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}

the WebService-Log returns

Hi all,

thx for help... the problem is solved. The parameters for username and passwords were in the wrong format.

They have to be "userName" and "userPassword".

After that correction I receive the Session-ID and with this I can go on.
